Somewhere out there is a chemical someone stumbled on that produces a real tan when taken internally, by triggering the same response cells have to sunlight. I wish I knew what happened, that it disappeared from the radar.

"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

Ha.

It's not nearly as bad as a thread title implying that being white is the best.

No one would hire him as a model -- he's not anorexic.

You're right. Nothing wrong with pale.

I think I remember that. It was called something like kanthaxanthin, and it made you look kind of orange IIRC. It was withdrawn from the market after some disturbing data about its safety, but I don't remember the details. Liver damage, maybe? Or am I just going on the orange thing?

That was a topical, and didn't give an actual tan. The real stuff never made it to market, and the only reason I'm aware of that could possibly have been grounds for that was that it had as a side effect a Viagra-like reaction in many men.

The reason it should be on the market is that having a tan is healthy; it actually helps protect against the sun -- it's just that getting that tan naturally is detrimental to the skin (and the detriment is related to how fast you acquire it).

Re: 18, white and shirtless. What more could you want?

No, it was a pill. I took it for a while. Just made me kind of golden-yellow.

And of course the other thing you can do to protect against the sun is stay the hell out of the sun, which is my personal choice. But then I'm so fair that the impact of midday July sunlight on my skin is painful...not like scream-and-burst-into-flames painful, but like the shower being too hot. I wear SPF 15 when I'm not going to be out in the sun much, and 50 or higher if I am...and keep to the shadows when possible.

Yeah, just exactly the kind of guy the Goth kids should worship. So why don't they?

I checked -- it was actually a sort of dye that migrated preferentially to skin fat cells. It occurs naturally in a number of plants and imparts a dark-orange to brown color in them -- but in human skin, it doesn't do brown, just orange.

Re: 18, white and shirtless. What more could you want?

Regarding the title...are you saying that being 18 is, and should be more, universally valuable than other ages? "18, what more could you want?"
Also, being white?
And worst of all...SHIRTLESS? What more could we want? Nude is probably more valuable.

Re: 18, white and shirtless. What more could you want?

My thinking is that those that want to overreact to your thread title are just jealous, EP. Maybe those questioning your title should post their pics so we can compare. If things are posted in jest, then make sure the humor is noted. Where I see arrogance, it is with the naysayers posting not with the OP. And as Benderboy has reminded us, this is a NO FLAME ZONE.
